Using the standard upgrade procedure (noticed it was somewhat different than previous upgrades) but it went well.

No apps lost or failed to function. Did have to re-install desktop background picture and remove the duplicate desktop icons (I have wbar installed) but that wasn't an issue. Even xscreensaver came through and works as it should (from slackware repo in the PPM)

For sure, faster than 5-3.3.1 was.

Overall I would say a success and again mic... 'nice work!'

One issue that I mentioned back in the 5.3.3 thread was with xscreensaver itself (which by the way was never addressed?). Although it functions properly with MOST of the standard features in it... the functions like Carousel, GLslideshow and I believe one more that uses GRAPHICS or PICTURES... work but... do not display the graphic or picture itself and I believe I have tried all the settings available? It would be nice to have this feature corrected if possible as xscreensaver in Slacko is the ONLY puppy xscreensaver ever worked properly in and it is a really nice touch for Slacko.

Gnome-mplayer played the whole suite of test videos I have been using since early in Lupu. It also played a DVD with menus working as well as they ever do in gnome-mpayler--working well enough to use--they just look blocky. Good result.

Here is the test suite -> http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/Media_Test.tar.gz There are a three different kinds of mov files, 3 kinds of mp4, an mpg, an rm, an avi, a wmv, and a 3gp. Xine won't play them all--I can't remember about VLC. (Admittedly, some might be very rare formats.)

Only one problem i found is the gnome-mplayer cannot interpret UTF-8 encoded path name in .asx file, while the Xine can.
Another issue is it is difficult to compile mplayer against some version of ffmpeg.

My Netgear WN111v2 USB wireless dongle isn't working at all on Slacko 5.3.3.2 - Puppy can't even see it! I've tried both Network Wizard and Frisbee. I'll post the output of lsmod on both 5.3.3 (on which wireless works perfectly) and 5.3.3.2 tomorrow when I can get on the PC.

Slacko has 2 gtk.immodules files, /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules and /etc/gtk-2.0/i486-slackware-linux/gtk.immodules. And also has 1 symlink at /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/gtk.immodules that points /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules.

Further to my previous post, the promised lsmod outputs appear below.

First, the output on Slacko 5.3.3, on which the wireless networking works perfectly:-

The most obvious difference at first glance is that the order of the modules listed is different. Not sure if that matters however. It appears that most, if not all, of the key modules for wireless networking are loaded so I'm not sure what's going wrong._________________Zhaan - AMD K6 2 500, 512MB RAM, ATI Rage 128 VR.
